OPERATION

Surface Preparation

Washing the Vehicle or Work Area:

Dirt and debris can scratch and mar a surface if not completely removed before buffing. Before buffing or

polishing a vehicle, wash it carefully using the following steps:

1. Rinse the vehicle to remove loose dirt and debris.

2. With a mild soap intended for automotive cleaning, wash the vehicle with a soft brush or microber

wash mitt from the top of the vehicle working downward. Apply additional soap to remove stubborn

debris.

3. Rinse all soap from the vehicle beginning from the roof downward. Ensure no soap residue remains.

4. Using a microber towel or chamois, dry the vehicle starting at the top and working downward. The

vehicle should be completely clean and dry before bufng or polishing.

NOTICE: Paint surfaces can become soft when heated. Pay attention to vehicles sitting in direct

sunlight, especially vehicles with dark color paints or during summer months. Avoid washing or bufng

a car that is warm or hot to the touch, as doing so may damage the paint surface.

Bonnet Installation

CAUTION: To avoid injury make sure the plug is disconnected from any power source before installing

or making adjustments to any bufng pads or accessories on your orbital polisher.

Fitting the Bonnet:

Line up the bonnet over the bottom of the bufng wheel and stretch the side of the bonnet over it. Fit the elastic

edge over the wheel slowly (pulling too forcefully can tear the pad). Ensure that the pad is even and in line with

the at face of the bufng wheel.

CAUTION: Do not turn on the orbital polisher without the bonnet fully installed, as it can y off of the

wheel and potentially cause injury.

NOTICE: Always start the orbital polisher with the pad against the vehicle or work area. If the pad is not

against the vehicle, it can sling wax or polish onto unwanted areas, such as windows or wheels.

Applying Wax or Polish

Application:

After ensuring that the work surface is clean and dry and that the bonnet is properly installed:

1. Apply the wax or polish to the terrycloth applicator bonnet. Cover the bonnet evenly to avoid creating

rings across the work surface. Spread the polish like you would spread jam on toast.

2. Follow instructions included with the wax or polish of your choice to ensure the proper amount is being

used for your work area.
